In the back of the house vs. at the back of the house

Hi there, I heared people saying like, in the back of the house and at the back of the house. If both are correct, when would be the right time to use in and at in this case? And what is the difference?

Here's my take: at the back of the house = someplace behind the house, but outdoors; in the back of the house = someplace inside the confines of the house. Prepositions: gotta love 'em!
